DevPod is a client-only tool to create reproducible developer environments based on a devcontainer.json on any backend. Each developer environment runs in a container and is specified through a devcontainer.json. Through DevPod providers these environments can be created on any backend, such as the local computer, a Kubernetes cluster, any reachable remote machine or in a VM in the cloud.

Explore the basics of distributed tracing, how it works, the major components, key benefits, challenges, and best practices.

SurrealDB is an end-to-end cloud-native database designed for modern applications, including web, mobile, serverless, Jamstack, backend, and traditional applications. With SurrealDB, you can simplify your database and API infrastructure, reduce development time, and build secure, performant apps quickly and cost-effectively.

Introducing a gateway to cache your third-party API can significantly improve its performance and stability. Discover how we configured Nginx in a Kubernetes environment for this usage.

1 - A secure cluster needs a secure organization
2 - The Kubernetes API has undocumented verbs and subresources
3 - Remember that Kubernetes is essentially remote-code-execution-as-a-service

Tyk Gateway is a modern, ultra-performant, purpose-built, and open source API Gateway.

Tyk Operator brings Full Lifecycle API Management capabilities to Kubernetes. You can configure Ingress, APIs, Security Policies, Authentication, Authorization, Mediation by using GitOps best practices with Custom Resources and Kubernetes-native primitives.

GitOps is pretty new and quickly became a popular approach for managing Kubernetes clusters. Properly implemented makes daily work with the cluster much easier, incorrectly done can be harmful.

Knowledge about the theory and about the experiences of others is a key to introducing GitOps in your organization. This approach additionally requires always keeping the team up-to-date with changes to automation that is responsible to provision systems using higher permissions.

I will try to cover there more advanced cases than a few basic good practices repeated across various blogs. The following points are written from my experience, from my point of view — I hope it will be useful for you.
